Letting Du Fei go to Moscow as a special representative this time is the result of careful consideration.
Du Fei's identity itself has a certain degree of specialness. He is not entirely official, but he has great influence.
In addition, because of the route starting from Borneo, Du Fei established an extraordinary relationship with some people in Moscow.
This time Du Fei went to Moscow with a very important mission to test whether there was a possibility for the Soviet Union to reduce its military strength in the Far East.
With Huaguo's breakthrough in intercontinental missiles, it has achieved strategic deterrence capabilities in the true sense.
This makes Huaguo hope to reduce some of its defense expenses and use them for economic construction.
But this wish must be responded to by Moscow, otherwise the two sides will be fighting at both ends.
In addition, Du Fei also wanted to take a closer look at what Sulian was doing.
At this time, in the world before he traveled, it had been less than fifteen years since the Sudong Incident.
A building was not built in a day, nor does it decay in a day. If it is really rotten to the root, you can see the signs now.
Now, due to the changes caused by Du Fei's appearance, many things can no longer be copied mechanically from the experiences and results before time travel.
For many issues, Du Fei must be more cautious than before in drawing conclusions.
Du Fei was sitting on the newly modified K-8 passenger plane. Because of the internal sound insulation decoration and specific background music, which offset the vibration caused by the aircraft engine, the comfort of this K-8 passenger plane has been greatly improved.
Even Du Fei didn't expect this effect.
Later, when he asked about the person in charge of this work, he suddenly realized.
This engineer surnamed Wu was actually an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, specializing in serving the emperor. He always strives for excellence in his work and has a particularly strong service spirit.
This kind of Du Fei can't be said to be good or bad. Anyway, after mastering relevant science and engineering knowledge, all his enthusiasm was spent on the noise reduction of passenger aircraft.
In the end, the domestic K-8 passenger aircraft has caught up with the world's advanced jet airliners in terms of noise experience.
Du Fei sat in the middle of the plane and looked out the porthole.
The plane took off and the capital city on the ground quickly became smaller.
Du Fei twisted his neck and looked at it for a while before looking away and began to lower his head to read the relevant information prepared this time.
Most of them are people he needs to deal with.
When the plane flies to level ground, the flight is very smooth and does not affect reading.
Because there were still a few days before the commemoration, Du Fei did not fly to Moscow in one breath.
Instead, we stopped briefly in Irkutsk on the way and picked up Natasha to go with us.
According to Natasha, a very important 'friend' in Irkutsk introduced her to Du Fei.
Du Fei does not object to making friends with more important people in Sulian. If he can catch Natasha's eyes, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.
Taking off from Beijing, the plane flies northwest and will arrive in Irkutsk about 1,600 kilometers away.
There is no need to go around in the middle, it takes about two and a half hours.
Du Fei set off at around nine in the morning and would arrive around noon.
After reading the information for a while, Du Fei raised his head, stretched his neck, and looked out through the porthole again.
Under the thin clouds, there is a large lake embedded in the vast Xianbelia Plain. It is Lake Baikal, which we call the North Sea.
At this time, Lake Baikal has not yet thawed, and it looks like a huge blue gem from the sky.
Irkutsk is right next to Lake Baikal, about fifty kilometers away in a straight line.
Next to it is the Angara River flowing from Lake Baikal.
Du Fei's plane landed at the Irkutsk airport, and Natasha had come to pick him up in advance.
Du Fei got off the plane and felt the biting cold of Xianbelia as soon as he stepped out of the cabin door.
The weather in April is that spring has begun in Beijing, but the cold winter is still here.
Fortunately, Du Fei was strong and well prepared, so he put on his down jacket.
Going down the gangway, I saw Natasha.
The bride is really frost-resistant. In this cold weather, you can still see her waist through the outline of the coat, which shows that she really doesn't wear much underneath.
"Du Fei, welcome to Lucia~" Natasha enthusiastically stepped forward and gave Du Fei a hug.
Du Fei responded with a smile, but noticed that Natasha was talking about Lucia and not Su Lian.
This may be intentional, or it may be Natasha's habit.
Then Natasha introduced a young man who came with him: "This is Serov, my classmate and best friend, and my sister's fiancé."
Du Fei knew that this Serov should be the person Natasha wanted to introduce to him. He shook hands with a smile and said: "Comrade Serov, nice to meet you."
Serov smiled and said: "Comrade Du Fei, I have heard of you a long time ago, and I am very happy to see you."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Natasha had no inhibitions and began to read about Serov's family background.
According to her, Serov's family and Natasha's family have been friends for generations. During the Great Patriotic War, Natasha's grandfather and Serov's grandfather were in the same division, which was a real life-long friendship.
It's just that Serov's grandfather was not very lucky and died before the end of the war.
But Serov's father and uncle are very competitive and have strong personal abilities.
Coupled with the help of his grandfather's comrades-in-arms, the family did not decline, but thrived, becoming an important force in the Far East.
As for Natasha bringing Serov in this time and introducing him to Du Fei, it's actually not surprising.
To put it bluntly, it is profitable.
Du Fei got off the plane and had to stay in Irkutsk for one day, and then fly to Moscow with Natasha tomorrow.
This is Serov's territory, and he will definitely entertain you every step of the way.
The three people left the airport in a Volga car and soon arrived at a sanatorium on the Angara River.
It can be seen from a distance that this nursing home is quite large. The car is parked in front of a building with a very fast-link punk style.
Serov got out of the car, threw the car keys to a young man who came out, and then walked inside with Du Fei and Natasha.
As soon as I entered the door, I immediately felt a rush of heat, which was like a completely different world from the cold temperature outside.
Natasha immediately took off her outer coat, revealing her Lenin suit, trousers, and a pair of very high heels.
Compared with domestic women, who mostly have 37 or 38 feet, Sulian people's feet are thin and long. There are many women who wear sizes 42, 43, and their slender soles can wear high heels very high.
Du Fei and Serov also took off their coats and handed them to the specialized waiters.
Serov explained: "Rest assured, the staff here are very reliable and will never do anything outside of their job."
Du Fei understood what he meant, and besides, he never put anything useful in his pocket when he got off the plane.
The three of them walked inside and didn't meet anyone else.
I don't know if Du Fei is being entertained here alone, or if other people have other access.
Then Serov arranged a very luxurious Russian dinner.
Although the preparation method is not too surprising, the ingredients are really amazing.
Serov was also very patient and did not say anything serious at the dinner table until after the meal, when he suggested adding a sauna.
Natasha did not participate in this step, not because she was shy, but probably as a reason to give Du Fei and Serov a chance to be alone.
Du Fei was not polite and confronted Serov with "sincerity".
With a "stab" sound, Serov poured a large ladle of water on the sauna stone.
Suddenly a burst of heat rushed out.
In the sauna room, the hot moisture is inhaled along the nose, giving people a slight feeling of suffocation.
Du Fei sat down and wiped his face with a wet towel.
Serov sat next to him and said with a smile: "The route you and Natasha cooperated with..."
Du Fei listened and smiled in his heart, knowing that he was finally going to get down to business: "Are you interested?"
Serov said: "Of course, being able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter has a very good response around Moscow. I think if the successful experience can be used for reference in the Far East..."
In fact, Du Fei guessed what he meant early on, but the purchasing power of the Far East was far less than that of the wealthier areas around Moscow and Eastern Europe.
Prior to this, the Moscow route departed from Kuching and made one stop in North Gauley.
Hokkaido and North Korea, including some materials from Northeast China, will be installed here and shipped to Moscow.
Instead, the Far East, which is geographically closer, was directly crossed.
The reason why Du Fei did this before was mainly to reduce unnecessary resistance. Whether at home or in Sulian, the Far East was not an easy place to touch.
Until this time Serov took the initiative to come to him.
This cannot be Serov's personal behavior, nor is it a whim of the Serov family, but involves the entire Far East local group.
Otherwise Natasha wouldn't have come forward to make the connection.
But it is not difficult to see from Natasha's attitude that there is still some uncertainty in the matter itself, and her family must have been unable to shirk it, so they agreed.
But it was enough, and I didn't get involved too deeply. If the situation changes in the future, I can get out in time.
As for Du Fei, he didn't have any resistance to this. Even Serov's appearance this time seemed to give him a pillow if he felt sleepy.
Behind Serov is the local faction in the Far East.
Although the current Sulian is far from reaching the level of local vassal towns, it is also true that since Polezhne came to power, local power has increased.
Especially in the Far East and Central Asia, the relationship between local power and local garrison is getting closer and closer.
Serov said: "Although the population of the Far East is not large, the entire Far East has 700,000 troops..."
Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "You mean... we should do this?"
Serov said: "You have the source of goods and I have the channels, so why not?"
Du Fei clicked his tongue, leaned on the pine board behind him, thought for a moment and said: "I will take 20% of the net profit, and you will distribute the rest among yourself."
Serov was stunned. It was not that Du Fei wanted too much, but too little.
He knew that the cooperation between Du Fei and Natasha basically had this ratio.
But don't forget Natasha's background. She is a woman who can truly know everything in Moscow.
Serov originally thought that there would be a quarrel over profit distribution, but who knows... instead, he was a little confused as to what Du Fei was thinking.
Although at first glance it seems that Du Fei takes 20% and gives 80% to the other party, Du Fei is at a disadvantage.
But don't forget that this is pure profit. In fact, Du Fei does not lose at all, because most of the entire industry chain is controlled by Du Fei.
What is the cost of fruits and vegetables before they are put on the plane, the cost of transportation fuel, the depreciation and loss of the aircraft, the airline's profit... Du Fei said these costs are whatever they are.
In fact, Du Fei was ultimately able to take away nearly 40% of the profits from the entire industry chain.
The remaining profits are distributed to Sulian. As for whom they give or not, or whether they simply give them to benefit the people, it has nothing to do with Du Fei.
As for Serov, it was an unexpected bonus for Du Fei.
The emergence of Serov illustrates a problem, that is, local groups in the Far East have developed interest demands independent of Moscow.
And based on this appeal, substantive actions were taken.
This is a very important signal for Du Fei.
This shows that for many things, he does not necessarily have to go through Moscow, but can directly communicate with local factions to reach an agreement in advance or exchange interests.
Realizing this, Du Fei placed Serov on the same level as Natasha, striving to get tangible benefits to the local group behind Serov as soon as possible.
Once the binding of interests is completed, future matters can be easily discussed.
…
An hour later, after the "Sincerity" meeting with Du Fei, Serov settled in Du Fei's residence, then left the sanatorium by car and returned to the city of Irkutsk.
A residential compound for cadres located near the Prefectural Government.
Serov met a middle-aged man whose appearance was exactly what he imagined.
This man was none other than his father, the most powerful man in the entire Irkutsk region.
"Father~" Serov knocked on the door politely and came in.
The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to work with his head down, and at the same time said lightly: "Have you met that flower-fruit man?"
"Yes, father~" Serov briefly explained the situation of his meeting with Du Fei just now.
When he was halfway through speaking, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and put down the pen in his hand, with a hint of amusement in his deep eyes.
After Serov finished speaking, he chuckled and said: "This person is willing to give out benefits."
Serov lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
He wasn't sure what his father's attitude was.
Relatively speaking, his uncle was more concerned about this matter.
The middle-aged man stood up, walked around from behind his desk, stood by the window, looked at the snow-covered yard outside, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Serov immediately went over, took out a lighter and helped light it.
The middle-aged man took a sip and spit it out slowly: "In this case, let's not be ignorant. We can get fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. I believe the residents of the Far East and the comrades in the army will be very happy."
Serov secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he expected that his father would not let go of this opportunity to win people's hearts, not knowing the supply channels was a hidden danger.
Once the supply of fresh vegetables and fruits is started in advance and people get used to it, then the supply is suddenly cut off, and the impact will be even greater.
Rather than that, it would be better not to have it in the first place.
